Example: The Exiled Noble is a well-lit bar with large wooden wagon-wheel chandeliers covered in candles. The bar smells strangely of cinnamon and the 7 patrons are all engrossed in a pickled rat brain eating contest. The barkeep is well-mannered and well-dressed and greets the characters as they walk up to the bar, offering them a plate of fried goblin fingers or their specialty drink, the Happiness Trail. Behind the bar are three large torches with eerie blue fire that are humming a sleepy lullaby.

At the edge of the bar is a horrific looking leper singing songs of love and loss; his amazing voice fills the room. As the characters explore they begin to get stung by bees that are buzzing around the room. The bartender informs them that the bees sting the least intoxicated patrons of the bar.

The characters with any knowledge of the underground may have heard rumors that this place acts as a safe house for a spy network. Currently this network is working against the local thane has raised taxes to the breaking point and has imprisoned any who has spoken out against him. They are eagerly seeking help from anyone willing to give it.

Several of the patrons are mumbling about the strange sounds that have been coming from the nearby field at night, and how several herd animals have gone missing or found mutilated.

As the characters are enjoying the evening a woman in the bar begins to tremble and convulse. Suddenly she begins to puke up pea-green soup and speaks of nasty fortunes that will befall one of the characters.
